Our final days

Oh my gosh! It’s almost the end of the world! Panic, scream, run in circles crying!

Wait a second; we have five days to do whatever we want without long term consequences weighting our decisions…. Five days to live our lives to the fullest and do the things we love with the people we love.

Alright, call me an optimist, but that’s the way I see it. Why waste time worrying when you could be doing things you never had the courage, time or money to do before?

Like:

Watching every episode of Spongebob Squarepants, in order, while eating large amounts of White Castle hamburgers and pretending they’re Kraby Patties. (I wouldn’t even sweat the calories. I’d just sit there and stuff my face like White Goodman.)

Dying my hair bright pink and shopping all day using a credit card whose bill I will never see.

Taking a plane to Africa and going on a safari (the ticket would be paid for by that handy credit card, of course).

Writing a short novel about my extremely interesting and eventful life (please tell me you picked up on the sarcasm) and handing it off to one of the Doomsday Preppers to ensure its existence after the “big day”.

Walking along the ocean shore for as long as I can.

Going wingsuit flying, because I’ve always thought about getting “bit” by a bird and getting special powers. Oh, and that recurring dream where Peter Pan tried to teach me to fly, yeah that might be a factor too.

I could go on for hours because there are so many things this world has to offer, and it shouldn’t take a doomsday scare to make us realize that. We all have so much we want to do, and nothing stopping us is worth missing out on these experiences.
